trusthell | Induction.

Today seems to have been an exercise in providing more questions than answers. After all, aside from the rules on the walls, it's not as though there's much here that's going to help you understand what's going on, or why you're here in the first place. Some of you are angry; some are more confused than anything. Some are dealing in the best way that they know how.

But perhaps one question remains at the back of mind, regardless of what you choose to make of the situation, and rightly so: Who is responsible for this?

It's a question that doesn't seem to have a ready answer; after a while, though, you will receive something. It's not a solution, and it's not a way out, but it's contact – the sound of the public address system crackling to life somewhere above your heads, an indication that someone, somewhere, is aware that you're here and has something to say.

'I trust that all of you had a good night's sleep. Now that you have hopefully familiarized yourselves with your fellow Apprentices, allow me to make a formal introduction myself.'

The voice is male, that much is obvious; it isn't recognizable to anyone present, however.

'Welcome and congratulations, new Apprentices of Chronos University. You have been chosen for a valuable exercise of higher learning within these walls. Both the rules and a list of your fellow Apprentices have been provided for you in several locations, and I advise that you study both very carefully. Knowing them well can only serve to help you.'

'As for my own introduction, I am the equivalent of a headmaster to this educational institution. For our time together, you may refer to me as the Wordsmith. I do hope that you all endeavor to make the most of your time spent here, however you may choose.'

[OOC: You can be heard just fine through the PA system, so feel free to ask/say anything your little heart desires!]

Don't you think you should go to bed a little sooner than that? [just quietly trying to prevent poor decision-making tonight i guess.]

Dude, no way! Stayin' up past midnight's the teenage experience! I go to bed at at least two.

[i'm so sorry, sportacus..!!!]

I'm not sure you'd see a whole lot of nightlife here anyway.

[fuck he's gotta adjust his whole fucking sleeping schedule fuck all of you]

[HE'S TRYIN REAL HARD, BRUCE!!!! FOR ALL OF THEM.]

Yeah, that's another thing, the hell's with the lack of windows here? I want a view of something, even if all the ladies here are pretty damn nice to look at themselves.

They wouldn't want us to see outside. No awareness of our surroundings that way.

[he is having a goddamn stroke.]

If you go to sleep too late here, you might sleep through something interesting during the day! [LIKE MURDER]

[I AM SO SORRY SPORTACUS!!!!]

There ain't a single thing that's interestin' on this floor, my man, no reason not to! Build an arcade or something like that and I'll start goin' to bed early.

It's not like anything will be much more interesting at night, either!

Oh, I've got plans for the night. Real important ones.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

[WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL HIM WHAT HE DOES AND DOES NOT HAVE]

No you don't.

[BUDDY,]

I do! Seriously, Silver, back me up for once!

What are you going to do, play with the duct tape?

Booty calls.

Oh no you're not. You're coming with me tonight.

[honey please]

The hell I am! I ain't got a problem sleepin' with you, but I've gotta start on my plan to push "night" past ten!

Unlike you, I actually have plans for our exciting night life.

[...]

Yeah? What're we gettin' into?

You'll see.

[I am so sorry to everyone else in this room-]

[ oh my ]

The whole night thing was a god question, but no one cares about your silly teen romance!

[ Said the Vampire Lady who is feeling weirdly tired.

Why is it "day" and why is she awake in "day" ]

[-- WHAT]

What the hell're you gettin' at, hag?

Excuse me, playboy?!

[ this is said while she throws... well she doesn't have shoes so presumably a tissue box or an apple or whatever the hell is on hand at his head ]
